All,

TheWrittenWord makes pre-built collections of free software available
for HPUX (and other architectures). My involvement with HPUX is
strictly a hobby and, as such, I can't rationalize spending $180 for the
binaries.

They are kind enough to make the sources available for download, but
building and packaging uses their own 'pb' and 'sb' tools. While these
are also under GPL and freely available, the documentation doesn't give
quite enough information to actually get things going.

After 3 days of frustration and tracing Python code, I'm ready to give
up. Before that, I thought it would be worth asking if anyone has
successfully fought their way through a build + package process and
could share the secret incantations?

I'm primarily interested in kde, but cannot get past building pkgconfig
which, though I seem to be able to install it, does not get picked up by
subsequent packages relying upon it.

Thanks in advance for any tips!

Steve

Check that

- pkgconfig is in your PATH

- PKG_CONFIG_DIR is pointing to the .pc files
(ususally in $PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig)

Just a shot...
